I make ALL my power 24/7 365 we are 28 miles from a power line .....for a grow under 50,000 watts a Generator is not an option...its just not cost effective. (even a Diesel) unless ya' run SVO
Try running a generator in a zoned neighborhood (unless the powers out) most will not allow Gennys,or turbines to operate from 7PM to 7AM in a residential area....The Health Department and Fire Marshall....will prolly bring a sherriff with them
Don't grow big .....Grow smart SOG perfect your set-up and strain.
